[quote=Anonymous]OP, based on your more recent posts about not having a commute b/c you work from home, not wanting a rat race, and wanting some diversity, I’m going to throw out City of Fairfax as a recommendation (this is separate from, but in the midst of, Fairfax County).

There is a cute (albeit small) downtown area with local restaurants, a nice coffee shop (De Clieu), some small breweries and a craft beer place (High Side), plus local festivals. It is geographically pretty small with its own little government, schools, and transit system, so it has a bit of a small town feel (parts of which are walkable). But you’re still within a mile or so of a metro station, close to major roads/hospitals/etc., not far from Mosaic District, Falls Church City, Vienna, etc.

It’s just a bit outside the beltway. Maybe not great for a daily commute to DC, but plenty close for going into the city for sports games, dinners, etc. The schools are a bit more diverse and don’t have the rat race reputation of other areas you mentioned.[/quote]
